What is ART?

ART…if you’re thinking painting and sculptures, you’re a little off here as we’re talking Accelerated Resolution Therapy, often referred to as ART, is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies, but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). Yup, you read it correctly, benefits can happen pretty quickly using ART.

Who Can Benefit From ART?

Clients suffering from trauma and other mental health problems such as Anxiety, Depression, Phobias, Panic Attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Addictions/ Substance Abuse, Performance Anxiety, Family Issues, Victimization/Poor Self Image, Victimization/Sexual Abuse, Relationship Issues/Infidelity, Codependency, Grief, Job Related Stress, Pain Management, Memory Enhancement and many other mental and physical conditions can experience remarkable benefits starting in the first session.

The Client Remains in Control

The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Although some traumatic experiences such as rape, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes.

The process is very straightforward, using relaxing eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which the negative images are stored in the brain. The treatment is grounded in well-established psychotherapy techniques, and the end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery.

What Makes ART Different?

ART incorporates a combination of techniques used in many other traditional psychotherapies. ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur during dreaming. Although techniques similar to these are used in other types of therapies. ART’s very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. ART combines long respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by current scientific research studies conducted by the University of South Florida.

Looking forward to talking with you soon!

Health Insurance Benefits/Coverage/Authorizations DISCLAIMER

As a courtesy, we will attempt to verify your health insurance benefits and/or necessary authorizations for you. Please be aware, this is only “A QUOTE of Benefits/Authorizations.” We cannot guarantee payment or verify that definite eligibility of benefits conveyed to us or to you by your carrier will be accurate or complete. Payment of benefits are subject to all terms, conditions, and exclusions of the member’s contract at the time of service. Your health insurance company will only pay for services that it determines to be “reasonable and necessary.” Our office will make every effort to bill your insurance in a timely manner. If your carrier determines that a particular service is not reasonable and necessary, or that a particular service is not covered under the plan, your insurer will deny payment for that service and it will become your responsibility. We recommend you to be familiar with and verify your benefits with your insurance company prior to your services with us. Please be aware, that even then, it is still not a guarantee of benefits or payment.

By signing this authorization, I authorize my healthcare provider and my health insurance company to use and/or disclose protected health information (PHI) such as my name, address, date of birth, medical information on my condition, and insurance information from my health records and insurance information to TWI and any of its contractors as necessary to research insurance coverage. I understand that the information used or disclosed under this authorization may be shared with other people or entities and may no longer be protected by federal privacy regulations. In carrying out these activities, TWI, and its contractors may relay information to health insurer(s), receive information from health insurer(s), and communicate such information to my healthcare provider. I understand that this authorization is voluntary and that I may refuse to sign this authorization. I understand that my refusal to sign does not affect payment for services, my ability to obtain treatment, or my eligibility for benefits. I understand that if I choose to cancel (revoke) this authorization, I must do so in writing to my healthcare provider. However, I cannot cancel actions that have already been taken by relying on my authorization. This authorization will expire one (1) year after the date it is signed below.

If your insurance plan does not pay within 120 days of treatment, you must pay any outstanding balance and seek reimbursement from your level of service.
